SUMMARY:Inspiring Girls Workshop: your chance to develop a field-based science program for girls
LOCATION:Switzerland
DESCRIPTION:Girls on Ice Switzerland (http://www.inspiringgirls.org/switzerland) is a t
 uition free program for teenage girls 15-17 years old and is one of the exp
 editions offered by <a href="http://www.inspiringgirls.org" target="_blank"
  rel="noopener">Inspiring Girls Expeditions</a>. We run wilderness science 
 expeditions different from typical technical mountaineering courses or scie
 nce "summer camps" in that we truly integrate the wilderness challenge with
  the intellectual challenge. Inspiring Girls Expeditions are taught by team
 s of professional scientists, artists, and mountain guides.\nGirls on Ice S
 witzerland is hosting an instructor workshop for future expedition leaders.
  We also want to inspire new partner programs to expand Inspiring Girls Exp
 editions to other languages, countries and regions, so we can offer this ex
 perience to more girls. Erin Pettit, the founder and director of Inspiring 
 Girls Expeditions, will be in Switzerland to lead this workshop.\n \nWe are
  looking for female scientists who are interested in teaching existing Insp
 iring Girls Expeditions, or who are interested in taking leadership roles i
 n developing new programs based on the successful Inspiring Girls philosoph
 y. For example:\n- Girls on Ice: in your language/country\n- Girls on River
 s / in Rain Forest / on Volcanoes / in Snow / ... : linking kayaking, mount
 aineering, hiking, skiing with geomorphology, ecology, chemistry, physics, 
 geology or snow science.\n \nAlso - if you are an artist or guide who is in
 terested in teaming up with a scientist to develop a program, we can provid
 e help with connecting potential leadership teams.\n \nPlease visit http://
 www.inspiringgirls.org/instructor-workshop-switzerland for more information
  on the workshop. \n \nThe workshop takes place in Switzerland from 11th to
  14th of June, 2018. Workshop and accommodation costs are covered by Girls 
 on Ice Switzerland. Travel costs to and from the course location are the re
 sponsibility of the participants. If the number of participants is larger t
 han we expected, we might charge a small fee for accommodations.\n \nIf you

 >this form</a> until 30th of March, 2018. Let us know why you want to parti
 cipate and how you could contribute to Inspiring Girls Expeditions. The app
 lication should contain your interest in Inspiring Girls Expeditions or new
